HAIR-SUPPORTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented April e, 1909.

Application filed November 14, 1908. Serial No. 462,580.

To all. whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Aime Evil. 1). Josiarrr. a citizen of the UnitedStates of America, and resident oi. North .larrytwn \Vesrhester county,and State of New York, and FRANZ Knonirn, a subject of the Emperor ofGermany. and resident of the borough of Bronx, city, county, and. Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements inHair-Supporters, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to hair supports and has for its object to providea simple and el'iectire support on which false hair may be clampedagainst movement for the purpose or coiling. ln'aiding or otherwisemanipulating or dressing it which support or clamp may be readily usedin the household thus doing away with the necessity of sending such hairto the professional hair dresser for dressing.

Our invention is particularly adapted for supporting ialse puffs inposition and for re-coiling. as will be fully described hereinafter.

The features of novelty in the a ppcnded claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure l isa front elevation of our improved device: Fig. 2 is a sectional viewihereot on the line 2-2 of Fig. l and Fig. 3 is a plan view with partsbroken away for the sake oi clearness.

in the drawings A is a standard pro- \ltlkfll with a projection A. and ashoulder adapted to engage a. table or other support 8 as clearly shownin Fig.

is a screw which extends through the projection A and engages the lowersurface of the support l3 thus securely clamping the siai'idard .i inposition. If desired a strip oi. t'elt or like material l) may besecured to the shoulder A} to prevent marring or scratching of the uppersurface of the support 13.

A. separate carrying member E is mounted on the upper end. or thestandard A and is provided with an opening E through which extends tthumb screw F. This thumb will be pointed out screw i is arranged toscrew into the upper which the screw It extends. ihus upon loosening thescrew IF the carrying member may be freely moved in a horizontal planeabout said screw as a pivot and may be secured in any adjusted. positionby simply tightening said screw F. A reinforcing ring E may be fastenedat the upper end oi. the opening E for the purpose of preventing wear onthe carrying member E. The front edge of the carrying member E ispreferably curved and is thinned down to form a reduced portion E. Aseries of spaced vertically projecting pins G are secured. to thereduced portion E of the carrying member E near the curved edge thereof.

H is a locking member or cover which is hinged at H to the member E andconforms substantially to the shape of the carrying member E. Thislocking member H projects over the pins G and is maintained in itsoperative or locking position by means of a pivoted latch H In thedrawing the device is shown as supporting a false pull? 1 which is to berecoiled. The hair in putl's of this description is usually mounted onribbon or strips ct material vl. hen it is desired to clamp the hair inposition for dressing, this ribbon is laid on the reduced portion E backoi the pins G which are projected through the hair as illustrated inFig. 2. The locking cover H is swung down on its hinges over the freeends oi. the said pins and locked in position by the latch H The hair inthis position hangs freely and is held in position for easy manipulationyet is prevented ilrom being pulled out of the clamp by the pins G. Byloosening the screw 1* the carrying member E may be released. foradjustment to any position so that all parts of the puii are broughtinto a readily accessible position.

It will thus be seen that we have provided a device which may easily beclamped to a table or other support and which supports the hair to bedressed in proper position for treatment and which securely holds saidhair in such position. The device comprises few parts and is thus easyto manufacture and is not likely to become easily disarranged.

Instead of using the pins G for preventing the hair from being pulledout edgewise, the device might be provided with other means toaccomplish this as for instance a serrated outer edge.

Various modifications may be made Without departing from the nature ofour invention as described in the claims.

\Ve claim as our invention:

1. A device for supporting false hair comprising a carrying membermovable in a horizontal plane, and provided With holding means forholding the false hair, a support for said carrying member, and meansengag-- ing said support and carrying member for preventing relativemovement between said member and support.

2. A device for supporting false hair comprising a carrying memberprovided near its front edge with projecting pins for holding the falsehair, a locking member secured to said carrying member and arranged toextend over the free ends of the pins, and a support for the carryingmember.

3. A device for supporting false hair comprising a carrying memberprovided near its front edge With projecting pins for holding the falsehair, a locking member secured to said carrying member and arranged toextend over the free ends of the pins, a latch for holding said lockingmember against 1 said pins, and a support for the carrying press on saidholding members.

5. A device for supporting false hair or other fiber, comprising asupport, and a carrier mounted to turn thereon and provided With uprightholding members arranged in the arc of a circle Whose center is on' theaxis of the carrier.

6. A device for supporting false hair or other fiber, comprising acarrier provided with a series of upright holding members projectingfrom its face and arranged in a curve.

In testimony whereof We have hereunto set our hands in the presence oftwo subscribing Witnesses.
